[Mapserver-users] Virtual Spatial Data Wiki Question

[Paul Spencer]

if it works with ogrinfo and not with mapserver/mapscript then you need 
a more recent version of mapserver binaries.  It is not sufficient to 
replace gdalxx.dll, you must have a mapserver that was compiled against 
the newer gdal source code.  You can find the latest 4.1 compiled for 
windows as of today here:

Cheers,

Paul
